on a cool, clear spring day<br />
as the Sun moves past its peak,<br />
shining beams of life-giving light<br />
down upon me as I sit and observe the scene.<br />
There must have been a picnic earlier,<br />
as I see the cat stop and nibble on a cookie,<br />
perhaps a ginger snap<br />
which personally I would prefer in the fall<br />
along with some pumpkin dip,<br />
but I am no expert in the palate of a cat. <br />
Beautiful goldenrod surrounds it all,<br />
increasing in pulchritude as it perfectly<br />
catches the firey Sun's light.<br />
Inspired, I rise to my feet<br />
and light a match.<br />
The Sun desires fire<br />
as do I.<br />
I drop the flame;<br />
the cat flees.<br />
The flowers transform<br />
into licks of red,<br />
of orange and yellow,<br />
more magnificent than ever<br />
in their last moments.<br />
The remaining evidence of that picnic<br />
surely is burnt to a crisp,<br />
and I relish in its destruction.<br />
As for me,<br />
I do not move.<br />
The Sun desires fire,<br />
and so I shall become.<br />
The cat may have gone away,<br />
but someday it too shall be part of the fire<br />
she and I together gone. Jay Kanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270490904774851610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110944664516909341.post-23630384479643799472013-05-25T10:57:00.003-07:002013-05-25T10:57:44.880-07:00Damned SecretDamned Secret,<br />
Why must you curse me so?<br />
I have not spoken of you;<br />
Please let me go.<br />
Lurking in my shadow –<br />
You've followed me for too long –<br />
Striking at me constantly;<br />
I find it hard to be strong. <br />
What have I done,<br />
Damned Secret, that I deserve you?<br />
I have done no wrong<br />
And we have not an issue,<br />
Aside from your torture<br />
And your hatred of me.<br />
Still, I continue to dream<br />
Of the day I am set free.<br />
<br />
I hope it will come soon,<br />
Damned Secret,<br />
The day of your death.<br />
But until it comes,<br />
I shall give to you no breath.<br />
A damned secret you shall remain,<br />
Never to be known.<br />
I shall ignore you just enough<br />
To someday be left alone.Jay Kanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270490904774851610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110944664516909341.post-68708239790289621272013-05-23T18:03:00.001-07:002013-05-23T18:03:18.585-07:00One SecretOne<br />

Yet knowing even less<br />
Same mistakes<br />
Made worse<br />
Leading to a mess<br />
Memories of before<br />
Remaining as a curse<br />
Though hated<br />
Not feared<br />
Among mistakes diverse<br />
Failing once again<br />
As was fated<br />
Such dumb<br />
Cruel acts <br />
So it was stated<br />

just 'cause you asked me to<br />
Hoping to please;<br />
always kind to ladies<br />
Half-hearted attempt;<br />
shown by writing, unkempt<br />
But why not?<br />
What else have I got?<br />
Poems regained<br />
to I, having been drained<br />
Creativity back;<br />
my mind to unpack<br />
Sexy endeavor,<br />
this poetic letter<br />
Lady enticer<br />
with poems ever nicer<br />
Lyrical flex<br />
leading to elevator sex <br />

Heavy with its ponderings<br />
You'd think it easy to fall asleep<br />
As gravity must surely be pulling hard on those ideas<br />
Grabbing my head and dropping it onto a pillow<br />
<br />
But my mind burns inside of me<br />
Roasting my very soul<br />
I find such torture does not help the spirit rest<br />
<br />
So where am I left<br />
And what have I to do<br />
Existing, not living, in consciousness begrudged<br />
<br />
I beg for repose<br />
A moment of rest<br />
But lay myself down<br />
And my heart pounds at my chest<br />
<br />
To calm it all down<br />
I just want it all to stop<br />
I wish I knew how<br />
Guess tonight I'll stay upJay Kanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270490904774851610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110944664516909341.post-84321804135543605872012-05-07T07:18:00.000-07:002012-05-07T07:18:06.030-07:00The Perfect OneHand in hand we walked<br />
Across the field<br />
On that dark night<br />
I held back my tears<br />
(But you knew I was weak)<br />
I had run away<br />
Tried to ignore you<br />
But I always come back<br />
(Or I always had)<br />
If you could still stay<br />
I would never leave<br />
(So I said)<br />
Though I may walk away<br />
My mind does not leave you<br />
(It still hasn't)<br />
You always find me<br />
Bring me back to you<br />
Take me in your arms<br />
Make me smile<br />
(You did your best)<br />
Hand in hand we walked<br />
That dark night<br />
Every dark night<br />
You took my pain<br />
You tried to stop it<br />
(But could you?)<br />
You made me smile<br />
(But was it enough?)<br />
You were the best<br />
(So why did I leave you?)<br />
Together we were fantastic<br />
(Alone I am poor)<br />
Patient and kind<br />
Loving and sweet<br />
The most perfect girl<br />
(Too good for me)<br />Jay Kanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270490904774851610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110944664516909341.post-72013102560951157122012-03-30T20:35:00.001-07:002012-03-30T20:37:09.363-07:00DropNo need to hold on<br />Simply easier to let go<br />If you're not being pulled up<br />Just fall down belowJay Kanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270490904774851610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110944664516909341.post-91508171199761920252012-03-12T20:23:00.005-07:002012-03-13T19:04:28.134-07:00Rock Climbing<div style="text-align: left;">Gazing at that wall<br />As it stood there so tall<br />Striving only to reach<br />Success at its peak<br />Thus he started without stall<br /><br />Going inch by inch<br />(Climbing is a cinch)<br />All to find the top<br />Ascending without stop<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">SPACE</span>Until he felt a strange pinch.<br /><br />Stricken with new-found fear,<br />Seeking suddenly a way out of here,<br />He turned his head down.<br /><br />The determined stare and smile<br />Turned frown.
